Ginny Thomas, a conservative political activist and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, voluntarily met with the January 6 committee this week, and claimed in her testimony that she and her husband actively talked about their work together. refrain from doing. But on Friday’s episode of “The View,” the hosts weren’t buying a word of that.
In his prepared statements to the select committee this week, Thomas said that “my husband has never spoken with me about pending cases in court. It’s an iron-clad rule in our house,” and added that Justice Thomas “is not interested in politics.” As a result, “I don’t usually discuss my day-to-day work in politics with them, the topics I’m working on, who I’m calling, emailing, texting or I’m having a meeting.”
And while “The View” host Sonny Hostin said it might be okay if Justice Thomas isn’t interested in politics, especially because his decisions as a judge should be rooted in the rule of law rather than partisan views, he did. Refuses to admit that he and his wife do not discuss their work or who they communicate with.
“I think Ginny Thomas is a filthy liar,” Hostin said. “And the reason I say it is because she says ‘We don’t talk about politics. We don’t talk about Supreme Court…'” At that, Joy Behar cuts her off, asking That “What do they talk about, ‘Dancing with the Stars?'”
But Hostin returns to his point, drawing on his own experiences in the legal system for support.
“Why is she lying because – I was an appellate law clerk. And what happens when you graduate after becoming a law clerk is that you keep in touch with all your former clerks. And you have all these threads. , and when cases come up and things like this happen, before that particular court, you really get up on it. You start talking’, ‘Judge Bell what was you thinking’, that mad was!'”
Hostin picks it up because there’s actually a thread between Judge Thomas’ former clerks – over whom not only is his wife, but “she plans a family retreat for everyone”. Hostin also pointed out that one of those former clerks is John Eastman, which was, of course, one of the biggest testimonies at the January 6 hearing.
“So Ginny, come on girl,” said Hostin in a cheeky tone.
Host Alyssa Farah Griffin also admitted that she would “call BS” over Thomas’ claims that Thomas does not discuss her work, arguing that at the very least, Judge Thomas could ask his wife to How was his day, or if he did anything exciting – on January 6, when his wife was at the Capitol.
“Is he a liar, or is he in the cult?” Behr was surprised. But its host Ana Navarro gave a befitting reply.
“Honey, that’s cray cray,” Navarro shot back. “It’s not hard to figure out. First, since they’re not talking about politics, and they’re not talking about legal matters, maybe they Who’s talking about Bruno.”
To Behr’s apparent confusion, Navarro clarified that she was referencing the viral song from Disney’s “Encanto” before getting into her true thoughts on Ginny Thomas.
“I think they are representative of people who are somewhat radical, or completely radical, who are not really rooted, and who are insane,” she said. “But I don’t think Ginny Thomas is the mastermind behind this conspiracy. I think she is one of those annoying gadflies that she had to deal with because she was married to a Supreme Court justice that she needed. ,
